Hi Gliss,

Please add LASVEGASCOIN (VGS) to coinmarketcap. VGS was swapped from FLYcoin.

Here is VGS Thread:

Hi Gliss,

This is BITCLOUD
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcloud/

This is based on YOBIT market. Please change the exchange to coinexchange here:
https://www.coinexchange.io/market/BTD/BTC

However BITCLOUD has been swapped to BITCLOUD 2.0 (BTDX)

This is the new thread here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcloud-20-btdx-pos3-newest-masternode-core-122-quark-2092583

coinexchange will soon update their wallets from BTD to BTDX, so it is good if you base the BTD market on coinexchange, not yobit, because yobit does not do wallet updates.

EDIT
coinexchange have updated their wallets - this is the new market:

Hi Gliss!
Please update information on our token (asset) MINEX to display Market Cap
https://coinmarketcap.com/assets/minex/
Our project involves destruction of tokens, but now Total Supply = Circulating Supply.

Faithfully yours, MINEX team.

Thank you Coin Market Cap for recently updating the information for EverGreenCoin and all your service to crypto. We proudly feature Coin Market Cap as one of the tools for EverGreenCoin investors.

Keep up the great work!

Isn't this a high time to add a historical data api option there? That's the most important update everyone is looking for and it'd take less than 1KLOC to program this.

Does anyone know why EOS would sometimes disappear from the list?

BITCLOUD (BTD)
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcloud/#markets

Please use COINEXCHANGE as a basis for the BITCLOUD market cap.
https://www.coinexchange.io/market/BTD/BTC

CHAINZ EXPLORER, already use COINEXCHANGE as a basis for market cap.
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/btd/

Of course not. But maybe CMC has the necessary server infrastructure for that. However - their only income seem to be ads (although they should have good traffic) and so it's perhaps not that likely.

My question was because of the many altcoins that are only featured on block explorers like bchain.info or chain.nem.ninja that don't provide any API.


OK, exchange APIs can be an explanation - I didn't realize they provide sometimes additional infos about certain altcoins.

So maybe all coins with a market cap displayed at CMC that aren't hosted at a "full fledged block explorer" like cryptoid, are listed on at least one exchange that does provide this information.

Would *you* really want nearly nine hundred wallets open all of the time?

I would imagine calling the various API's from block explorers and exchanges would give coinmarketcap an insight into how a coin is progressing...

Does someone know how CoinMarketCap, in the present, accesses the "circulating supply" value?

In the first post they write:


That would mean that they don't run altcoin clients themselves but access to statistics provided, e.g., by block explorers.

My question:

- Do they need a full-fledged web service providing e.g. JSON/XML data?
- Or are they OK with a web site where the value "circulating supply" appears, because they web-scrape that sites?
- Or have they changed their policy and are running altcoin clients now for every coin? (unlikely because that would need a lot of resources)?

I ask because there are tons of coins that are supported only by the block explorers without "API mode", but their supply is displayed correctly.

There may not be columns but you can use the menus to display by total supply.

If you choose to view according to total supply you will find that Malcoin is the #2 cryptocurrency with a market cap of $37 billion.

Please update BITCLOUD

It is not, see https://github.com/ripple/rippled

I agree that the "circulating supply" is a bit murky on that one, currently it seems to be "all XRP not directly owned by Ripple Inc". If you have actual sources which addresses belong to whom and under which contracts they are locked, it would be interesting to publish a more exact number I guess. Your self-moderated post however unfortunately does not really contain many verifiable facts.

doctor-s, I read your steem article (which I hadn't seen before) and it was very interesting.

I'd say that free-float methodology has absolutely no place in a decentralised asset sector, principally because the off-book capital is not shared (with investors) in blockchain assets, while in equity markets it is.

Furthermore, in the latter (equity) case investor's capital is still backed by the shares they purchase. In other words, they still retain ownership of their invested capital via their received shareholding and this is reflected in the bottom half of the corporate balance sheet by virtue of all the corporate asset holdings being owed back to shareholders. Yet another distinction is that a corporation is a legal entity in its own right and it's that legal entity that receives and owns the capital invested, not the directors (they may of course do so in another capacity, as shareholders themselves). Even if a tranch of that legal entity's capitalisation is 'off-books' for market reporting, its assets are all under communal ownership as far as the wider shareholding community is concerned.

In cryptocurrency however the entire landscape is completely different. There is no equity issuer. The blockchain issues tokens and those tokens do not represent shares in the individuals/corporations who invoked their creation and who may be developing the associated market. ALL wallet holders are therefore independent and equal in status. There are large holders, small holders, some with a propensity to sell, others not.

The "free-float" method of calculating the total value held in a blockchain is therefore meaningless and arbitrary in this context.

For example, one of the largest and most active 'wallets' in the Veritasium meta coin chain is excluded from the reported marketcap. Its contents are ostensibly owned by a corporate entity (we do not know categorically) but investors in the token do not receive any share in that entity even though they are indirectly capitalising it to the tune of 100's of millions of dollars on paper by pricing the tiny quantity who's marketcap CMC erroneously promotes with a factor of 50 distortion.

Meanwhile, back on the bitcoin chain, a wallet containing 1 million BTC that has not been touched for 8 years and who's contents are clearly not "circulating" in any meaningful sense is included in the supply that counts towards marketcap. This is clearly a reporting convention that is ripe for gaming by aggressive ICO issuers who 'release' tiny amounts ('release' is the wrong word by the way since the blockchain is the only source of the tokens', "Sell" is the correct word) to the market and then use that tiny quantity to price the rest of their holdings at astronomically overvalued levels. All courtesy of the compliance of a corrupted accounting convention deployed by the worlds most accessed reference site for cryptocurrency market capitalisations.

IMHO it's nothing short of an appalling reporting practice that does not protect investors interests and who's failure of consistency is paving the way for nefarious and predatory offerings which would be outlawed in any formally regulated environment.

Why is Ripple operating a ordinary database listed among blockchain technology coins.
Why do you show wrong marketcap of Ripples xrp as you full well know that not all circulating tokens are available to be freely traded (some are locked by contractual agreement or otherwise, jeps)

SAame with coincap.io, what's going on? Are those two using same data calculation methods or sources?

I've brought this up before, and even posted on steemabout it, but it seems to fall on deaf ears.

I don't think using the free float method is a good way of calculating market cap, but I also acknowledge that it's very hard to get the methodology right because the cryptocurrency space isn't standardised and due to the differences between one coin and another, it's hard to make a comparison.


Perhaps it would be better to have two columns for market cap? Free float market cap and total market cap?

XRP has the * Not Mineable tag, so it's a non issue. If you can't mine it, the premined tag is not necessary since it's understood that the coins were generated from the start.

It looks like the price data has not been changing since about 4:50 UTC this morning. It is about 11:35 UTC now.
